Today is week 1 day 5, yay!! Leg & back. I like this disc too, I like working my legs. Got up and got it done in the morning.I do have to say I did lay there for a second and consider sleeping a bit more, but NO, lol I got up. Then my BF came in and said he was going to ask me if I wanted to do it in the evening again. I like working out in the morning, to just get it done & overwith. Even though I'm always sleepy and cold ( especially today, its overcast) but I warm up fast.

Lets see my favs & dislikes of legs & back - likes: hmm....I like doing squats, more so than lunges. I think my least favorite is the calf raises, only because my calf muscles are not so strong, so they fatigue pretty quickly. but that tells me I need them!! LOL

and of course you have ab ripper, finally my stomach isn't sore from this week's earlier ab rippers, which is nice. I was doing my abs and thinking 'man I used to be able to do this whole session - the whole thing all reps' I'll get there again someday.

overall I'm feeling less sore,which is good. I do like being sore sometimes, it makes me think 'oooh theres a muscle' LOL especially if it's in some weird spot that you don't think about.

I'm finally getting my calories under control. the first & second day I went over what I have in my nutrition planner, only by 300 cal, the next day it was only 200. so now I'm finally staying under my limit. I think in the nutrition part of it in itself I'll see results. No fast food, no crap!! For awhile there I was craving sweets, especially brownies.. now I've replaced that with dates, a much healthier natural sweet.

Just thinking about some of the stuff we used to eat makes me kinda yak. Like roundtable has those pasta dishes. When they first came out I was all over them, I mean delivery pasta?? hells ya. Slowly over time I started not wanting to eat them - or eating less. They just were too heavy and unappealing. Now I can't imagine eating them bleh!!

now my diet ( see my food tracker) consists of home made sandwiches, wraps, yogurt, and other things that are made at home with thought put into them.Before it was whatever was quick ( fast food bleh) and easy- with not alot of thought put into what was my best option at whatever place the food was coming from.

So ya I think just changing my diet so much is really going to help, and with p90x things have to change. Thats what I love about it, if you do the workout, things will change. I always tell people that too - they ask 'does it work' - I tell them -if they're dong it, it has to work. Theres no way you can do p90x ( to your best) and NOT see results. You might not loose all kinds of weight, but you're getting stronger, you will increase your muscles and get toned, it's impossible for that NOT to happen. Like Tony says 'do your best and forget the rest'

WOOO!! BRING IT. Sorry I had to do it LOL. Yes, I am doing P90x, I did it for 64 days last summer, and I'm feeling like I need to get in gear and do it again. I had pretty awesome results last time. I didn't drop a pound, but my body REALLY changed! I was much stronger and toned. My clothes fit way better - not sure how that works, I guess everything is finally where it's supposed to be rather than sagging and what not! LOL

So I'm on Sparkpeople, I use it mostly to track my p90x workouts, sometimes I get the food into the food tracker too LOL. but the p90x team over there is awesome and very supportive!!

I love everything about that site, the people, the articles, it's just an amazing place to get your 'spark' going!!

I decided that I needed a fence to keep the dogs out of the garden area and away from the pool area. Zoey has a bad habit of charging the south fence and kicking tons of straw into the donkey pen. By making a dividing fence this allows me to take down some strands on the south 'back yard' fence for the donks, so they can go back to trimming the fence line! I've found that it's really high maintaince to have THAT many strands of horseguard so close to the ground, I'm constantly pulling grasses & weeds that are touching the fence.

So I decided to make a fence out of pallets!! LOL Here's the result, I'm still not sure if I'm going to paint them or not. But it's a test, luckily the way they're set up it would be easy to dissemble and use them some place else if I wanted.

I decided to make some bread yesterday since it was raining. I got that book Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a daySo this is my first 'loaf'. I don't have a baking stone so I went with a loaf pan ( glass) and hoped for the best. I did have the broiler pan with water for the steam part of it though. I think for my first one it turned out pretty good! I didn't grab quite enough dough, so it does look more like a free form loaf than a pan loaf.

I finally got everything I needed to fence in the north 'pasture', more of a paddock really though. I was going to make a track but after I started putting up the outer fenceline I realized that I wouldn't have much room in the middle to ride - like I had planned. So I'm leaving it as an open pasture, because I do plan to do a bit of riding in it. Right now the donks get to go out in the morning only ( when the sugar content in the grass is the lowest), while I'm cleaning up the manure from the rest of the pen. Then they come back into the regular track for the rest of the day and for breakfast.

Here's a pic of Daisy the first day I had it up

I found a great deal on a tube gate ( 8') on craigslist, it was exactly what I needed for the entrance to the sheds ( so i can get hay etc.)

I cut some hay with the scythe this last weekend, and it's been drying for the past few days. But I wanted to post a pic so you can see what fresh cut looks like and a couple days dried.

fresh is upper left hand corner, stuff on the right has been drying for 3 days

the old stuff is almost dry, we've been having really warm weather, so it's speeding the process up. But I also have to make sure i Have it all spread out well so it doesn't rot, in the pic above it's raked into a windrow, kinda. lol While the fresh cut is really spread out thin to encourage air flow and drying
